Looking at the scroll, Master Qin said, "We must find out who drew this picture."

"Yes." Master Zhou said, "At the very least, he should be sentenced to fifty thunder whips."

Master Guanghua said calmly, "He just painted a picture and didn't break any heavenly rules. Why did you sentence him to be whipped by thunder?"

"Master Guanghua is right. Does painting also violate the heavenly rules?" Master Jieqing said calmly.

Ke Mengqing said: "It doesn't matter, as long as we explain it, painting will violate the heavenly rules."

"Alright," Dean Xunqing said, pointing at the painting. "Put it away! You just got fined 100,000 merits, and you're still not satisfied? Do you want another 100,000?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Mengqing waved his hand, put away the painting, and said, "I took out this painting to tell you fellow Taoists that these people now dare to secretly use this method to mock our Tian Court. I dare not even think about what they will dare to do in the future."

"You are amazing. Everyone else is drunk but you are sober, right?" Master Song Ci said to Ke Mengqing.

Ke Mengqing's neck stiffened, and he said, "Why? Isn't that right? At least in this court, is there anyone who can fight better than me?"

As soon as Ke Mengqing said this, the eyes of everyone around him subconsciously shifted from him to Fang Jian beside him.

"..." Ke Mengqing also reacted instantly. He actually forgot that a more capable guy had come to the Heavenly Court.

Fang Jian has fought against everyone from True Immortals to Golden Immortals, and he won them all.

Isn't Dingyuan Tianjun powerful? Fangfang Tianjun, a Golden Immortal.

Are the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave formidable? Is Liu Chenxiang formidable? But they've all suffered at the hands of Fang Jian.

Ke Mengqing said that he was good at fighting because he once used his true immortal skills and magic weapons to defeat a mysterious immortal, so he considered himself the best fighting master in the Heavenly Court.

But now Fang Jian is here, and Ke Mengqing is depressed to find that he, the top master of the Heavenly Court, has to give up his position.

"Ahem." Fang Jian met everyone's gazes and said humbly, "I'm not good at fighting. Peace is the most important thing in everything."

"..." Everyone looked at Fang Jian speechlessly for a while, then looked away and stopped talking about the matter.

At this time, Master Shu Ting said, "We are judges of the heavens, and we are civil officials. Does it matter whether civil officials can fight or not?"

Ke Mengqing nodded and said, "That's right. We just need to enforce the laws of heaven. If anyone breaks the laws of heaven and commits crimes, the heavenly soldiers and generals and the gods of thunder will go and capture them."

This is true. The Heavenly Judge is in charge of judging, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and the Thunder Department are in charge of catching. So, to be a Heavenly Judge, you don't really need any strong fighting skills.

The discussion about the scroll was stopped by Dean Xunqing, who then asked, "Do any of you have anything else to say? If not, let's get started."

Everyone looked at each other and finally shook their heads and said, "Nothing's wrong."

Dean Xunqing nodded and said, "Okay, let's discuss the matter."

"Today we will only discuss two things. The first one is about the verdict on Yuan Tiangang." Dean Xunqing said.

Everyone frowned upon hearing this, especially Ke Mengqing, who was furious. "It's fine if the dean doesn't mention it, but I get angry when he does. It's clear that neither I, Master Quan, nor the dean were in the Heavenly Court. What gives you the right to declare Yuan Tiangang not guilty? It's fine if you declare him not guilty, but why is the Grand Master punishing me for my merits? I wasn't involved in this at all!"

After saying that, Ke Mengqing raised his hand and slapped the plate. A ray of fairy light lit up in the plate, and then a big word "injustice" appeared in everyone's eyes.

"The matter has been settled. What's the point of complaining?" Master Song looked at Ke Mengqing and said, "Why don't you tell the Grand Envoy about this?"

Ke Mengqing said, "Master Song, how dare you criticize me? As the most knowledgeable judge in our Heavenly Court regarding the Heavenly Laws, how dare you allow them to make such an absurd judgment?"

Master Song knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue with Ke Mengqing. He simply said, "Yuan Tiangang is Xiao Yumei's teacher. Morally speaking, his actions are justified and innocent. Moreover, he didn't fight against the heavenly soldiers and generals, so he shouldn't be convicted."

"Then why don't you tell this to the chief envoy?" Ke Mengqing asked again.

Xun Qing saw Ke Mengqing quarreling with everyone and said impatiently, "Master Ke, please stop talking."

Upon hearing this, Ke Mengqing spread his hands and said, "You are the dean, I will listen to you."

Xun Qing withdrew his gaze from Ke Mengqing and asked Fang Jian, "Master Hongqing has just arrived at the Heavenly Court. Why don't you share your thoughts?"

Fang Jian raised his head upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "I haven't been penalized for any merit, so it's not appropriate for the dean to ask me."

After Fang Jian finished speaking, he successfully attracted the unhappy gazes of the ten real people present.

Ke Mengqing even produced a wooden stick from his Qiwu plate and placed it between him and Fang Jian, saying, "I draw a clear line between myself and this person."

Everyone ignored Ke Mengqing's nonsense, and Dean Xunqing said to Fang Jian, "Master Hongqing, please feel free to speak."

Seeing Xun Qing asking questions again and again, Fang Jian could no longer remain silent, but asked, "Can the verdict on Yuan Tiangang be recalled and a heavy sentence be imposed?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present began to shake their heads.

I only heard Master Jieqing say, "Once the Heavenly Court issues a ruling, it will be difficult to change it."

Qin Zhenren said with an indifferent expression: "Changing orders from one day to the next is a big taboo."

Although Master Zhou was somewhat listless, he still spoke up, "Doing so would undermine the dignity of the Heavenly Court."

"Recalling and severely punishing someone is absolutely unacceptable." Master Guanghua also said, "This precedent must not be set. Once it is set, it will be difficult to deal with it later."

"That's right, we must never do this." Master Changxia and several other masters also expressed their opinions.
